As planned, the Aksarben Foundation’s contract with the Nebraska Department of Economic Development (DED) to support InternNE will conclude on March 15, 2025. Through our collaboration, DED has awarded $9 million in internship grants, funding 1,567 internships statewide and expanding opportunities for students and businesses as of March 2025.
While the program transitions, Aksarben will continue its work in scholarship and career development, particularly through our new STEM scholarships. We’re also strengthening connections between students, employers, and educators across Nebraska to ensure internship opportunities remain abundant.
